Lettuce not Forget

It started by necessity and ended in ignominy. In my defense I point out that we were student poor and had to get food somehow or abandon our dreams of a college education. Besides it wasn't such a bad idea. It's just the execution that was somewhat flawed.

Early in our married life my wife worked to enable me to attend school. By early I mean literally we were poor. Indeed had they had such statistics back then we would have scraped the bottom of the poverty barrel. We were always struggling to buy not just school supplies but such basic necessities as food and housing. Consequently we were ever on the lookout for ways to save money and one particularly enticing idea was to plant a garden.

What is gravity?

Good question! Both interesting and intriguing! Some of history's greatest scientists have struggled to answer this question. The history alone is facinating. Well, enough preliminaries, let's get right to the answer. If you don't understand any of the words I am using ask your mom or dad to explain them. In science words are important and we have to use the right words so we can convey our meaning properly to others.

I went to the hospital again last week because my stitches pulled out. As these things go, this visit wasn't too bad. After the CAT scan they just repositioned my drain tubes,  sewed me back together and sent me home. Aside from my normal allergic reactions to the contrast dye things went pretty smoothly. In many ways the worst part of this procedure is the IV needles. I've become so thin only one arm has enough meat for the IVs. As a result my poor arm has become badly abused. After every hospital visit my arm is bruised for weeks.
